Irish Rail are going to roll out up to 200 body cameras for workers in a bid to fight back against anti-social behaviour.

As the summer heats kick in extra security staff are being deployed on services while the new pilot project hopes to see them kitted out with cameras by the end of the year.

Ticket inspectors as well as other members of staff are also expected to get cameras with spokesperson Barry Kenny saying they're looking to adopt a UK model that helped see a dramatic decrease in attacks.
